Why play 5 bowlers when we have taken 20 wickets in the first two tests with 4 bowlers without to much trouble, if Patel plays it has to be for Tuffey.


If they decide on 2 spinners being necessary, it has to be for Elliot.  You can't go into a test (even on State Highway 2) with only 2 seamers, and Elliot is NOT a third seamer.  If we had Franklin rather than Elliot then sure, no problems, but to go into a test with Elliot as third seamer would be a disaster.
